The paper deals with the interaction style of physical education lower secondary teachers. It is based on Leary’s Interpersonal Behavior Circle, which was used to develop the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI). This questionnaire was distributed to lower-secondary teachers of physical education (19) and to their pupils (889) in the regions of South Moravia, Zlin and Olomouc. The findings reflect the differences between the teachers’ self-perception and the way the teachers are seen by the pupils, gender differences in the teachers’ interaction styles and differences caused by the length of practice and the nature of the school subject in which the study was carried out .
